BXBX NOVEL Chapter 553 landing
Even now, he could still hear that phrase ’Brother Ji Yun, it tickles’ in his mind. It’s a perfectly innocent phrase. But his brain was the one that was making it into something that was not so innocent. If this happened in reality, he might have already reacted in a completely embarrassing way.
He raised his hand and then slapped himself to push all those not so innocent thoughts out of his head. It seemed to work since his heart was slowly starting to calm down. Maybe another slap would do him good.
Luo Yan was startled seeing Shen Ji Yun suddenly slapping himself. Although he was overly delighted by the other’s reaction as usual, he didn’t want him to hurt himself. So, when he saw Shen Ji Yun about to slap himself again, he quickly reached out and held the other’s hand.
"Brother Ji Yun, you’re not allowed to hurt yourself," he scolded. "If you do this again, I will cry. Do you want that?"
His threat had an immediately effect because Shen Ji Yun quickly held his hand and promised, "I won’t do it again."
Then, as if realizing that he was holding his hand, he let it go just as quickly. Luo Yan felt a bit disappointed. He wanted to hold hands a little bit longer.
Before he could decide if he should hold the other’s hand again, he felt something soft landing on his shoulder. He glanced at his side and saw Eclipse. When he turned around from where he was sitting earlier to grab Shen Ji Yun and prevent him from falling, he temporarily put down the little fox in his arms.
[Mashter, why does Eclipse feel that every time you and Captain flirt Eclipse is being fed by something that isn’t really that delicious?] – the little fox suddenly asked.
Luo Yan almost laughed and answered that he was actually being fed dog food. [What do you mean by it’s not delicious? Let me tell you a secret, what I and your Captain feed you is the most delicious thing in the whole of Arcadia.]
Eclipse’s little face scrunched up, as if not understanding what his master said. [Really? I think my favorite Mana fruit is still more delicious.]
"Can you three stop moving around?" Dusk suddenly roared. "What do you think of this king’s back, a playground?"
Luo Yan patted the dragon’s back gently. "I’m sorry, Dusk. We’ll behave from now on." He turned to Shen Ji Yun. "Right, Brother Ji Yun?"
Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat. "Yes."
Dusk only scoffed before continuing on towards the direction of the site of the demon fox tribe.
Their travel became much more peaceful after that. Shen Ji Yun didn’t want another repeat of what happened earlier, well, he does but his want to not take advantage of his rabbit was much stronger than that. So, he became much more careful.
They passed a mountain range. According to the map, the next area would be a rainforest. A hidden area in that rainforest would be the site of the demon fox tribe. The pin on the map only showed the general area of the location. It was still up to them how to find it.
Soon, they reached the rainforest. Seeing that they were near the vicinity of the general area where the site was, he said to the black dragon;
"Great king, you can stop here."
Dusk immediately stopped.
"I don’t think we should let Dusk land below," Luo Yan said looking at the dense forest.
Although everything was just a bunch of data, letting Dusk destroyed those trees still felt kind of wrong. And more importantly, it might alert the other members of the demon fox tribe. They still weren’t sure if those foxes would welcome them. It’s better to be more careful.
"We can just jump from here," Shen Ji Yun suggested. "
"Then jump quickly! This king is already getting tired hovering above."
After Dusk said that, he was suddenly surrounded by a black smoke. A sign that he was transforming. Then, before they could react, the dragon’s sturdy back that they had been sitting on suddenly disappeared.
Shen Ji Yun cursed inwardly before reaching out to Luo Yan and holding him into his arms. He was relieved to see that Eclipse was still in Luo Yan’s arms, so he didn’t have to worry that the little fox would be thrown out. To better maneuver himself, he put one of his arms behind Luo Yan’s knees and the other on his back, holding the other in a princess carry. With that, he easily landed on top of one of the tallest trees below them.
Luo Yan was once again princess carried. But unlike before, he no longer felt embarrassed about it. Having it happened a couple of times could do that. And besides, the one who carried him was Shen Ji Yun. Why would he even feel embarrassed about it?
They landed on the ground in a very easy manner. Luo Yan didn’t even feel uncomfortable because Shen Ji Yun protected him all the way.
The other happened to gaze down at him and because he was also looking up, their gazes overlapped. He smiled at him and he saw a slight red tint on his cheeks.
Shen Ji Yun cleared his throat once again before letting his rabbit down on the ground as gently as he could. He was about to say something when they heard rustling behind them.
Both he and Luo Yan glanced back and was surprised to see the ’person’ walking towards them.
